A review by eacrunden
Midnight Is the Darkest Hour by Ashley Winstead

dark slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Very, very dark just like other books from this author, and wouldn’t say the end doesn’t spark some frustration BUT very engaging and gripping, with a willingness to go places a lot of writers aren’t
